<font size=3>What this dealer is finding out with regards to clearing
ivory though customs<br>
is that a private individual may get permission if the piano is 25 y/o or
more.<br>
A dealer must prove the piano is 100 y/o or more.<br>
<br>
It is not advisable to ship (smuggle) ivory through the post. If one of
those<br>
tree-hugging, vegetarian, do-gooders gets their teeth into you, you
would<br>
rather have been attacked by pit bulls.</font><br>
